Marginal today - too old and out of shape - used to have a decent basketball game (quit organized ball 5 years ago) and baseball game. Great #4 in golf's captains choice because I play only 2-3 times per decade but shot in the upper 70 and lower 80 as a teen and can hit 10-15 great shots without playing. Passed all my PT tests in the Army up until retirement in 2001.

Unsweetened iced tea, stout beer, and red wine. Lots of tea and several beers or glasses of wine on occasion.

The Rolling Stones, The Doors, Grateful Dead, Peter, Paul and Mary, the Beatles (yes I am stuck in the 60s and 70s) and ND glea club. Love Gregorian chants (not a group).

Favorite Quote from an ND Coach:

All of Holtz's quotes. Love to hear him talk. Coach Ray used to say I want my linemen Agile, Mobile and Hostile. Another John Ray quote to a friend, John Pergine (LB) - John got a clip during practice from one of the scout team members and lost it - he flipped the guys helmet off his head and got him on the ground pummelling the guy's head and Ray runs over and grabs John's arm and says "Stop it you're going to hurt your hands".
